Thanks to everyone that stops by.just a small update, I have finished planking this lower gun deck, I think it looks ok, im not over happy but as your not going to see most of it, im going to rub it down over the next few days as i have noticed a few wood shards,

Just a small update,  I have been reading the manuals, and looking at other build logs to get a idea of whats next on the to do list..

The Lower deck planking between 4 & 12 bulk head, I wanted to make sure that every plank will be the same, (although i'm guessing this part will not really be seen) so I'm going to use this time and space to try out a few/new ideas,  I,m going to try tree nails 

I made a little jig to cut the 80 mm deck lengths (if this is wrong size please let me know) also made an extra bit if I have the need for 40 mm (half) and then after we had been shopping, a nap and lunch, Lol, I thought of a jig for the tree nails,

I'm happy how this has turned out, and how the few planks I have glued in look, (Will edit picture of this in a few days)

Hi All,

Hello all,

I,m after some information,  The pictures below,  Quarter galleries, are they meant to be at a slight downward angle> it looks wrong, but feels right... 

thanks everyone, for likes and comments, very appreciated, 

Hello All, 

I have finished the first layer of the hull, filled and sanded, came out not bad tbh, Might add a little bit of filler around the Bow.

all though i was adding 2 per side per day,, the last few was 3  due to the small size, a

any ways this task was done..

Hi Sam Great work as normal. yes the cannons look nice as you have them in the picture, not sure is they would have been like that at the time, You have it how you want it

Although the great build is on track and time, we have ordered new hands to help from far, they should arrive in a a week or so :-

Plank layer one is a working progress,, we are managing two planks per side, per day,.  

looking great glen, may i ask what primer did you use?

Hello All,

Thanks Lawrance,  I plan to enjoy, the next few years, 

No mush done atm, managed to get a 2, each side of the 1st planking, as we are away with my daughter doing her Baton twirling, (4 days :s )

That' all for now..

Thanks to all, for popping on and taking a look at my build.

>/    Not much going on slow progress,

I Have completed a painful Gun port pattern strips on both sides,,, Next, first layer of planking  to start soon,

HI Sam, Welcome back, glad you both had a good break, Pictures and build looking great as always, 

Hello to all,

Just a small update, I started to paint the areas for the gun ports,, then i ran out of paint..      so I sprayed the area in stead,,

I have installed one side (ATM) of the Gun port patterns, I need a few 3mm brass pins to hold some in place as a few sprung out and needed to be re glued,

Pins should arrive tomorrow, so ill get the other side done over the weekend

Could anyone clarify the supports in the Picture (13), Do these get broken out? hope so, so have i got something wrong?

HI All,
